Spelling Errors: Stupid? Lazy? Or A-OK?

innerSpaceman · 08-18-2008, 12:31 PM

Sorry, and maybe it's because I'm a good speller, but I feel poor spelling is a sign of ignorance. Not stupidity, per se. But obviously ignorance of the way words are properly spelled.

I think that bespeaks a certain lazyness and a likely lack of rudimentary education.

I can't stand it when entities that should be able to afford copy check end up spelling things wrong in written form. Absolutely retarded.

I'm much more forgiving of individual people. English can be a tricky language as far as spelling goes. But, c'mon ... we all had a grade-school education, didn't we?

I also believe I'm a hypocrit as I can't seem to catch my own spelling errors right away. I seem to have to send something to the printer and get it past the point where I can't "stop the presses" and then - bammo - look at that glaring error right there.

Bammo!
